Tiramisu cake
I made this for Mother's Day because my mum loves tiramisu! I can honestly say it wasn't any more difficult than making any cake - and it was worth the extra time of brushing coffee over the sponge, whipping the mascarpone because the result was amazing, everyone loved it, it went so fast! The mascarpone centre also has a splash of Marsala wine - all the best parts of tiramisu!
Citrus cheesecake with roasted walnut praline
Cheesecakes have always been a firm favourite of mine to finish an evening spent wining and dining with friends, or a bit of self indulgence when you're alone. This particular one, subtle in richness but huge on flavour, goes down well with everyone. It's served with a lemon orange compote and crème anglaise.
